Special Preview Performance Event

Will Rogers is known by many for saying, "I never met a man I didn’t like.” This revue contains snippets of his famous homespun style of wisdom and common sense, and tries to convey the personality of this quintessentially American figure. The show touches on issues that are just as current today as they were in Will Rogers’ era: the environment, politics, diversity and #MeToo. Join us for a panel discussion focusing on some of these topics immediately after the preview performance on Wednesday, May 1.
